Re: Important question on linix (pls assist )
VMware should automatically detect that your virtual image is split into multiple files: as long as all the files are in the same directory, it can use them as-is. You don't have to combine them. If VMware wants to know the name of the .vmdk file, give it the version without the -sNNN numbers, i.e. "Windows XP Professional.vmdk".
The split is intended to allow the image to be stored on older filesystem types: some filesystems cannot handle files larger than 2 gigabytes.
